Local Residential Moving — Montreal, Laval and Surrounding Areas
Our local moving service covers the Greater Montreal area including all Montreal boroughs (Plateau, Rosemont, Griffintown, Downtown, Outremont, Verdun, Hochelaga, Villeray), Laval (Chomedey, Vimont, Sainte-Dorothee, Fabreville, Duvernay, Laval-des-Rapides, Pont-Viau, Auteuil, Sainte-Rose), the Rive-Nord (Blainville, Terrebonne, Boisbriand, Mirabel, Rosemere, Saint-Eustache, Deux-Montagnes, Sainte-Therese), Lanaudiere (Repentigny, Mascouche, L'Assomption), and the Laurentides (Saint-Jerome, Sainte-Adele).
Local moves are priced by the hour. Off-season rates (October to April) range from $120 to $160 per hour and peak season rates (May to September) range from $145 to $245 per hour. Each rate includes a team of 2 to 3 professional movers and a fully equipped truck with protective blankets, straps, dollies, and ramps.
Estimated durations by home size are as follows: a studio or 1 1/2 requires 2 to 3 hours, a 3 1/2 takes 3 to 4 hours, a 4 1/2 takes 4 to 5 hours, a 5 1/2 and larger takes 5 to 7 hours, and a family house requires 6 to 8 hours. These durations do not include packing and vary based on actual volume and access conditions.
Long Distance Moving — Certified Great Canadian Van Lines Agent
Pro Action Transport operates as a certified agent of Great Canadian Van Lines for interprovincial moves across Canada. GCVL maintains a 4.98 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau and its network covers all Canadian provinces with partner offices in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island.
Long distance moves are priced by weight. The total weight of your shipment in pounds, calculated from a detailed inventory of your belongings, is multiplied by a rate that varies based on distance and season. This method ensures you only pay for what you actually ship.

Commercial and Office Moving
Pro Action Transport provides business relocation services designed to minimize downtime and ensure continuity of your operations. Our crews are trained for office furniture disassembly and reassembly, secure transport of IT equipment, and management of commercial spaces of all sizes.
We relocate offices, retail locations, clinics, and warehouses throughout the Greater Montreal area. The process begins with an on-site assessment to understand your schedule constraints, access requirements, and the volume to be transported. We then establish a moving plan with a detailed timeline so your team can resume operations as quickly as possible.
Our vehicles are CTQ-licensed and our crews hold ASP Construction certification for access to construction sites when required.
Professional Packing Services
Proper packing is the foundation of a successful move. Pro Action Transport offers professional packing services tailored to your needs, whether you require full service where our team packs your entire home, or partial service targeting only fragile and high-value items.
Our packers use professional-grade materials: reinforced boxes in multiple sizes, acid-free wrapping paper, bubble wrap, stretch film, and specialized boxes for clothing (wardrobe boxes), dishes (china barrels), and framed artwork (picture boxes). Each item is individually packed according to its fragility and dimensions.
Full packing service typically adds 15 to 25 percent to the total moving cost. Partial packing for fragile items adds approximately 10 to 15 percent. These costs are itemized in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying before confirming.
Secure Short-Term and Long-Term Storage
Pro Action Transport provides flexible storage solutions through secure partner warehouses across Canada, accessible through the Great Canadian Van Lines network. Whether your new home is not yet ready, you need time to settle in, or you need to store belongings between relocations, we offer options tailored to your situation.
Transit storage (up to 30 days) is often integrated into long distance moves when departure and arrival dates do not align. Long-term storage is available for extended periods with monthly billing based on volume. All partner warehouses are monitored, climate-controlled, and insured.
Kitchen Cabinet and Millwork Delivery
Alongside our moving services, Pro Action Transport provides a specialized kitchen cabinet delivery service for manufacturers, distributors, and construction contractors. This service represents approximately 75 percent of our business volume and has built our expertise in handling heavy and bulky cargo.
Our crews hold ASP Construction certification, mandatory for access to construction sites in Quebec. We deliver kitchen cabinets, countertops, vanities, and other millwork products directly to residential and commercial construction sites throughout the Greater Montreal area and beyond.
Weight Estimator for Long Distance Moves
For long distance moves, the weight of your shipment is the primary factor that determines cost. Pro Action Transport provides a free online weight estimator that covers over 150 household items across 10 room categories. The tool uses the same industry-standard weight reference tables employed by professional movers across Canada.
Use the calculator to build an item-level inventory before requesting your quote. The tool takes 10 to 20 minutes and produces a reliable weight estimate that allows our team to provide a realistic price rather than a rough approximation.

How to Get Your Free Quote
Pro Action Transport follows a three-step process for every quote. First, you fill out the request form with your move details: addresses, date, home size, and access conditions. For long distance moves, you also complete the online weight estimator.
Next, a consultant reviews your request and contacts you within 24 hours. For complex or long distance moves, we recommend a virtual walkthrough via video call (15 to 30 minutes) or an in-person visit to verify the inventory and identify any special requirements.
Finally, we deliver a written quote detailing every component of your move with transparent pricing. No hidden fees, no surprises on moving day. The quote remains valid for 30 days.

A typical 3 1/2 requires 3 to 4 hours, a 4 1/2 takes 4 to 5 hours. The final cost depends on home size, access conditions, and actual volume.
How does long distance pricing work?
Long distance moves are priced by weight. The total weight of your shipment in pounds is multiplied by a rate that varies based on distance and season. A detailed inventory of your belongings, established through our online weight estimator or a virtual walkthrough, is the basis of every long distance quote. Starting prices range from $1,500 (Ottawa) to $3,000 (Vancouver).
What insurance covers my move?
All Pro Action Transport moves are covered by $5,000,000 in liability insurance through Northbridge Insurance. This coverage protects your belongings during loading, transportation, and unloading. For long distance moves through Great Canadian Van Lines, additional protection options are available and detailed in your quote.
Do you offer storage if my new home is not ready?
Yes. We offer transit storage (up to 30 days) and long-term storage through secure partner warehouses across Canada via the GCVL network. Storage is quoted separately based on volume and duration and can be added to any local or long distance move.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend booking 2 to 4 weeks ahead for local moves and 4 to 8 weeks for long distance moves. During peak season (May to September) and especially around July 1st (Quebec's national moving day), booking as early as possible is strongly recommended as availability fills up quickly.
